Personally, I was afraid a couple of the pictures might be a little ambiguous (maybe because they were intended for another book), but I gently pointed along the pictures as we read through the story. Then we cut it apart and I mixed the cards up so he could retell the story to me. He did very well. In fact, I was surprised at how much he could narrate back to me.

When we were preparing to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, he started retelling the story to me again. Normally when I ask him to tell me about what we've just read, he "doesn't remember" or tells me that "it's a secret" so I was very pleased at his recall hours later. I know without a doubt that he has excellent memory, at least long-term anyway, so I was more pleased with his attention and narration.

Here are a few other Thanksgiving activities we've enjoyed over the last couple of weeks.

This Clothespin Turkey Feather Activity was oh-so-cute to me, but wasn't a huge hit with the boys. Maybe next year Hulk will be more interested in it, and Hulk won't be as interested in using the feathers to dress up like Puss-in-Boots.

Hulk wanted nothing to do with painting his hands, but Iron Man really enjoyed making a Handprint Turkey.
